androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-08 05:00:06

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR Google is making its “Identity Check” anti-theft feature more convenient by integrating it with smartwatch proximity. This allows users to use their PIN or password as a fallback to biometrics, even outside a trusted location, as long as their watch is nearby. Expected to land in a future Android 16 quarterly release, the feature may only work with the Google Pixel Watch 3 and newer models. Android offers a number of optional theft protection features

Nikon has just unveiled the ZR, its first official co-brand with RED, the cinema camera company it purchased in April of last year. The ZR takes what Nikon has already been doing well, with its heavily adaptable Z-mount, internal RAW video recording and popular color science and turns it up to 11 for video shooters. That’s headlined by its ability to shoot RED R3D NE files. These files allow you to change settings like ISO and white balance can be changed in post, giving you way more flexibilit

Wake Up Dead Man adds a delightfully dark twist to Knives Out

When director Rian Johnson introduced the new Knives Out film on the third day of TIFF 2025, he exclaimed: “we’re going back to church.” By that he meant that Wake Up Dead Man, the latest Benoit Blanc mystery, would harken back to the origins of the whodunit, and in particular the gothic vibes of Edgar Allan Poe. And now that I’ve seen it, I have to say that Johnson pulled it off: the new movie has a darker and more spiritual feel than its predecessors, and yet it’s still distinctly Knives Out,

The benefactor of a $5.5 million trust fund, adjusted for inflation — not to mention a $20 million inheritance from his father, split with his siblings — Trump's actual net worth has always been a hazy target for estimates.
